You could not find a happier, bubblier boy. His brother and sister loved to make him smile. Cooper loved to be tickled and his giggles brought joy to everyone. He was very curious about his surroundings and would chew on anything he could find. Cooper was just learning how to stand. His blue eyes would always melt your heart. He might be gone from our sight but will always be loved.
